Arrest of n. orious Texas Freebooter
While Serving as Soldier.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 12-Sheriff Ad-
ans, of Brown county, Texas arrived here
Wednesday with a requisition for Eugene
Blumenthal, who, it is alleged, has been
wanted in Brown county during the last three
years for a series of the most daring rob
berries that ever occurred there. The story is
that about four years ago Blumenthal was the
leader of band of desperadoes, known as the
Fence Rangers, in Brown county, who swept
through that section, tearing down fences,
running off herds of cattle, and robbing stores
whenever their playful fancy led them in that
direction They were the terror of the whole
section, and although many attempts were
made to arrest the gang they all proved
futile Biumenthal bad gained an ascendancy
over his companions by his ability with the
rife. He could shoot anything that he could
see, and was never known to miss his aim
Sheriff Adams has been on the track of Blu
menthal for more than two years, and finally
located him at the Washington arsenal. Blu
menthal enlisted in Little Rock, Ark, three
years ago, under the assumed name of james
F. Adams When Blumenthal was sent for
and brought before the sheriff he started back
in alarm, exclaiming, "Bill Adams!' YES,
Bill Adams, said the sheriff, approaching
the startled soldier "And am glad to see
that you know me so well"
you've got the drop on me this time,
Bill said the soldier, who had now recov.
cred his self-possession, "and l am willing to
throw up my hands" A short conversation
then ensued, after which Detective Mahon
the soldier and the Brown county sheriff
entered carria ge and drove away. The
officers at the arsenal were astonished al

of by all the soldiers, and his skill with the
rifle made him general favorite

esting Suggestions from County

Has the idea ever appeared to you,
said County Superintendent Southwell to
an ARGUS scribe who dropped in upon
him while in search OF an item this morn
ing, that large percentage of the men
of the world today were once country
BOYS? 1t is a fact. Take Rock Island
for instance, and will venture the as
sertion that nine out of ten Of the law
yers, six out of eigh, of the doctors and
FIVE out OF eight of the merchants learned
there first lessons in country school
house. In Rock Island too, many of the
best citizens were born in this county.
1t is fact the world over that the coun>
try boy has made the greater success in
life. You will find him in the profess
sions ninety-nine to one of the city boys"
In what pursuit is the city boy most
apt to engage?' interrupted the reporter.
AS far as my observation has gone
you will lind him generally as railroad
man. an architect, skilled mechanic, or
an ordinary laborer, or, perchsuce, an in
ventor."
and the country hoy?"
He will be found to excel in numbers
in the profession every time. Take it in
law, in medicine, in journalism, in the
colleges, yes, and in the military acadia
mics in West Point for instance-and
the country boy will be found two to one
of the city chap"
Can you explain this difference
In certain sense, yes. The country
boy Is generally found to possess an in
clination TO 60 ahead and do at once what
| there is to be done, and to stick to it un>
til il is done In word he is sticker,
while the city boy, being perhaps every
whit as ambitious. has not the patience,
the grit if you please, to stand by task

little between times, or maybe postpone
something that he can as well do rs not
until tomorrow
With the majority of people this
statement may be disputed. We find IN
our schools disposition to consider the

stitntious. remember an occurrence at
Springfield during the meeting of the
